On May 29, 2024, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer visited Lockheed Martin in Owego, on the heels of delivering $400 million for its vital Combat Rescue Helicopter (CHR) program, which had faced major potential cuts in the last appropriations cycle to highlight the facility’s critical work to national security. During the visit, Senator Schumer announced a new federally-funded partnership between Lockheed Martin and Intel to bolster the U.S. Navy’s MH-60R, which are made in Owego with cutting edge semiconductor technology, bringing critical new work to the facility as the feds make major investments thanks to his bipartisan CHIPS & Science Law.
